This version is VERY OLD! The maps are from 1985 and do NOT include trail data. Get the Trails Illustrated maps instead, you'll be MUCH better off!

Allows you to export tif images with GIS/CAD world files for easy upload into Programs such as Petra. Downside is that if you are looking at a large area, you have to continuously change out disks (there are 5 or 6 of them).

I see a lot of complaints about this product regarding the outdated information. These maps are U.S. Geological Survey maps sets. Grant you, yes they were compiled from data such as aerial and ground surveys that are dated. That said, these are accurate maps of the areas they cover, these include monument markers that are THE reference for surveyors. These maps can be updated by the user with a GPS which gives one the capability of adding roads, trails, markers to your map sets making them a personal experience. No, these are not for someone that just wants a ready to use road/trail map. In other words, these are great for trailblazers, not followers.

The maps were useful and plenty detailed, however not all of them were current or up to date. It served as a starting point, however, I still had to purchase more current versions of the areas I needed from BLM and USGS

Awesome product.
The ability to see individual topo sheets is very useful, as is the ability to create custom seamed maps.
Dowloads of GPS waypoints to the computer, and the upload of GPS points fron the computer to the GPS unit is easy.
Customer support is phenomenal! They resopond quickly and personally answer your questions and even take recommendations on what might be nice additions for future updates (such as a Baja map set, or the addition of other datums besides NAD27)

I can't say enough about this product! The best mapping software out there

I purchased a copy of the Alaska version of these maps about 2001 or so, I have used then continually ever since. I wanted a library of USGS topo maps for the state. In particular the 63,360 maps.I had grown tired of buying new maps from the USGS map store every year. That is exactly what I got, plus all of the other USGS topo maps for the state.
While it is a bit clunky, you can stitch the maps together for custom coverage of areas located on two or more maps. I print all of my maps on 13x19 sometimes changing the scale to suit me. I have tried several other mainstream topo map products [Garmin, NatGeo, Delorme, etc.] and still prefer my iGage All Topo Alaska set.
They do not have all the bells and whistles that some do. But, I was not looking for those and am still not.
